Buenaventura was inhabited by Cimarrones, free slaves; being born and raised there really scarred Yuri. The sounds of the drum, marimba, the cooing of black people in the seashore and the gray sky; the forest, the Tunda and the Virgen del Carmen; the witchcraft and faith that are breathed there, gave the hallmark with which you can recognize a musician from Buenaventura.
